The mighty Becker & Mukai return with a new tidal wave of sonic highways with their new album Spirit Only, this time travelling from London studio bunkers to Japanese mountains, with pit stops in Senegal and Trinidad & Tobago. Experimenting between balearic, indie dance, psychedelic, folk and electronica, Spirit Only is a complete body of work, confident and unashamed.
Becker & Mukai are Jean-Gabriel Becker and Susumu Mukai, 2 friends who have been meeting for regular recording sessions at SaS studios in Shoreditch since 2016.
The recording sessions typically unfold as a musical dialogue.
They started as experimental and improvisational and evolved as the duo program and perform live on electronic instruments, but also on other unusual acoustic instruments.
